“The Throes” Formed in 1988 - Greater Washington, D.C. - - - okay, the suburbs… Northern VA to be exact… Bill Campbell, Harry Evans and Joy Gewalt. They were young and full of pride. And we were friends who loved each other and the music. Songs were written. An independent cassette was released. The Era of Condolence featured seven songs of youth, love and unanswered questions. Two stand-out songs are still crowd pleasers: Elisabeth and Dead End St. This was 1989. And the songwriting team of Evans/Campbell was churning full force. In 1990, The Throes signed with R.E.X. Records. R.E.X. was an indie label based out of New York City and featured a roster of speed and death metal acts. The Throes would be their first Alternative pop band. September of 1990 marked the release of All The Flowers Growing In Your Mother’s Eyes. Flowers featured a barrage of guitars, vocals and the lyrical musings of Harry Evans. This album stands up today and is considered a classic by many.

Arriving in the heyday of the alternative revolution, the Throes’ astonishing debut, All the Flowers Growing in Your Mother’s Eyes, captured the innocence and idealism of that singular movement. Driven by the songwriting prowess of Bill Campbell and Harold Evans, the Throes create dour, moody pop akin to the Smiths and R.E.M… Songs are built around Campbell’s sparkling guitar and driven forward by Evans’ idiosyncratic percussion.
